"If you want a population you can manipulate, withdraw support for artists. Demolish social programs, don't pay a living wage, deprive people of basic needs like healthcare. Eliminate all safety nets. Make people work overtime, two or more jobs, limit their free time. Without free time, we're deprived of our practices. We don't take walks, we don't make music, we don't do yoga, we don't write poems, we don't go to church."
